The Ballroom Thieves Lantern Lyrics

[Verse 1]
The heart believes in something more than what's been said
The heart's a two-faced fortune teller
It strangles honesty and ties it to a post
When a seat upon a barstool would be better

Ooh
Ooh-ah-ah-ah-ah

I do not dare to raise my head or move my limbs
To see the valley in this state
I fill my glass and let the evening take its shape
Spinning knives with luckless lovers time and fate

[Chorus]
You're shining still
You're a lantern on a hill
And I would burn into the ground
To take you home

Ooh
Ooh
Ah

[Verse 2]
Louder grow the words that fall from fortune's jagged lips
The anchor and the diving bell
And though I fear I may be rudderless at sea
Aye, aye, I have searched for ground
In deeper wells

[Chorus]
You're shining still
You're a lantern on a hill
And I would burn into the ground
To take you home, home, home
To take you home, home, home
To take you home, home, home

You're shining still
You're a lantern on a hill
And I would burn into the ground
To take you
Home, home
Home, home

The heart believes in something more than what's been said
The heart's a two-faced fortune teller
